WIDNES Vikings have signed Leigh East junior Martin Keavney on a three-year contract following a successful spell on the Vikings scholarship programme.
Sixteen-yaers-old Keavney, who spent 10 years with Leigh Miners, is the grandson of former Widnes scrum half Brian Keavney.
Keavney joins fellow Leigh-based players Martin Ainscough and Adam Bibey at the Halton Stadium, both of whom are currently with the Vikings' first team sqaud at their pre-season training camp in Australia. Ainscough is in the Vikings squad for the World Sevens while both will feature in the friendly against Wests Tigers on Janauary 31.
